The incident happened around 11 a.m. in the parking lot of Penn Manor High School. The boy, who is a private school student, was switching buses at the high school when he was hit.

The boy was conscious and breathing when he was transported to the hospital by ambulance. School Resource Officer Jason Hottenstein said it appeared the boy suffered a lower leg injury.

The accident was not related to weather, according to school officials. It happened as the driver of Eschbach bus No. 249 was pulling forward at the high school. The front, passenger side of the bus struck the child. The female bus driver, who has not been identified, was visibly shaken after the incident.

Investigators are checking surveillance video from the parking lot to see exactly what happened.
